This game has a perfect balance between luck and tactics, even playing on easy mode at the start I found myself treading quite close to death, narrowly pulling off a win, definitely worth the purchase, I’ve yet to play the expansion but I can’t wait to try and fail and try again.
This expansion, while it doesn't contain any new races, will mix up and change the face of Small World. From cross-overs with Underground, to realms/worlds that drift with every turn, this is the first expansion to get if you have both base games. I've only played two of the twelve possible configurations, but they've been as fun as the originals.
